Rostock

Rostock Release status: working Rostock is a linear delta robot 3D printer prototype, built in 2012 by Johann in Seattle, USA. Several variations have taken root, including: Kossel, Rostock mini, Rostock MAX, Rostock-Montpellier, Rostock Prisma, Delta-Pi, Cerberus, cOssel, Cherry Pi and ProStock. Both the MOST delta and their Open Source Metal 3D Printer also uses an inverted form of this design. Design Goals Build volume: 200x200x400 mm (8x8x16 inches). Videos Firmware Many firmwares support Delta printers out of the box. Frequently Asked Questions How do you adjust the height of the print surface ? You can adjust the following line in Configuration.h and then recompile and upload the firmware: // The home position of the print head. // For Rostock this means top and center of the cartesian print volume. For micro-calibration, use the adjustable endstop screws in the vertical carriages, see #Calibration above. Should the heat bed be mounted on top of a piece of insulation or cork ? No. Future

Rostock Delta 3D printer buildRostock ! Hello and welcome to the Rostock build, it's take a while to get this one documented, I blame that on having way too much fun with my printers and development at the moment, I'll try to be a little quicker on future projects. The Rostock 3D printer was originally developed by Johann C. Rocholl and is now quite well established in RepRap terms, it's over a year old and has had many different spin-off's and variants by other users and developers. Even Johann has a new design (Kossel Wiki here) based on the openbeam Aluminium construction.I rather liked the simplicity of the original design, and while I thought about making an aluminium T-slot design around the time SeeMeCNC were doing their very impressive development, I settled on just a few small changes for my Rostock build. The Rostock has a Delta configuration (Stewart platform) rather than the more common Cartesian coordinate system used by most other RepRap's.

E3D-v6V6 Video Check our our short and informative video introducing you to V6. Print the Widest Range of Materials Possible. Building on our signature high temperature performance that allows you to print high temperature materials we've now focussed on adding increased functionality with soft and flexible filaments. By providing a PTFE liner tube through the hotend that you can extend into your extruder this gives the ability to add the confinement and constraint needed to make excellent quality prints with flexible filaments like NinjaFlex, FlexPLA and FlexPolyester. This opens up a huge range of new opportunities for your printer.Rostock/frRostock Release status: working Rostock est un prototype robot delta imprimante 3D, réalisé en 2012 par Johann à Seattle, USA.

The Helium Frog Delta RobotBack to Helium Frog Blog CAD Models Details Other Robots20/10/2010This page is dedicated to the development of the Helium Frog Delta Robot. The design is mostly complete and if you would like to help with the development please feel free. Some basic .stl models are available here to get you started. I will try to post the latest designs soon. Check the blog page for the latest progress.

First tests and Calibration - Repetier FirmwareI originally wrote this post, and geared it toward the firmware I was using at the time, Marlin. I then tried to edit the post and added Repetier firmware (FW will be use for firmware for the rest of the post) notes. User feedback says it would be better to have one for , and one for Repetier FW. Open your host software and configure your port. Arduino creates a com (communications) port and that's what you'll want to use. You can leave the port and the baud at auto and let the software auto-detect these.Delta robot kinematics - TutorialsThe delta robot consists of two platforms: the upper one (1) with three motors (3) mounted on it, and smaller one (8) with an end effector (9). The platforms are connected through three arms with parallelograms, the parallelograms restrain the orientation of the lower platform to be parallel to the working surface (table, conveyor belt and so on). The motors (3) set the position of the arms (4) and, thereby, the XYZ-position of the end effector, while the fourth motor (11) is used for rotation of the end effector. You can find more detailed description of delta robot design in the corresponding Wikipedia article. The core advantage of delta robots is speed. When typical robot arm has to move not only payload, but also all servos in each joint, the only moving part of delta robot is its frame, which is usually made of lightweight composite materials.
